Whew! Now I can sleep tonight. I was really worried over this huge issue. I'm glad Trump was president when this came up. Only a man chosen by God could take care of this. Can't wait to see his EO on this. So much winning. First he wins the War on Christmas and now this.
And there we have it folks, whatever Trump says, they instantly believe, no matter how absurd.
That's actually the point of my OP. Folks, including me, are harping on the fake War n Christmas, but what we have is a president who will make up ish on the fly and his supporters will lap it up without any evidence to support his asinine claims. The trouble is not the President Trumps makes ish up. It's that good, decent people will lap it up when it's so obviously a lie. This is extremely troubling. Maybe Rudy found one guy ranting about Thanksgiving online and put a bug into Trump's ear who now thinks it's the Democratic Party platform to do away with the holiday altogether.
Thank God. On the eve of Thanksgiving, I was worried that all we are thankful for was in grave danger. The term "Thanksgiving" is one of the biggest issues for the 2020 election.
All hail Dear Leader, das fuhrer, Turkey-Gobble Donny, for saving us from certain doom.
Not to mention the fact that no one has heard anyone suggest the name should be changed.
30 years ago, nobody would have believed saying "Merry Christmas" would be considered offensive.
This is not what happened, incidentally. A bunch of people thought it would be nice to include other creeds and faiths, so "Happy Holidays" became a thing. A bunch of right-wing media figures decided that they could sell that as offensive, and their dimwit audience ate it up.
TLDR; the offended party was that sizable portion of Christians who feel their privilege being reduced is the same as prosecution. Because they're, not to put a fine point on it, operating on emotion and not facts.
Anyway, Trump as per usual made up something to tell his audience "you''re victims!" and his audience as per usual cheers him on, because they really like feeling that they're acting in self-defense and not as the horrible human beings they are. It's an old crowd manipulation trick. And it tends to end badly.
No doubt his acolytes are willing to believe this was an issue that actually existed in anything but Trump's addled mind.
Well 17 people singed a petition to change the name.
